Another Red
I know, we're only supposed to do one photo a day, but I found this Cardinal feather on the deck this evening and couldn't resist.

Stay Tuned
This is Color Week, starting tomorrow. Inspired and organized by Liane. I plan to participate and I would encourage others to do so as well. I had so much fun walking around with my camera yesterday looking at color and trying to decide what to do each day. You can go to Liane's blog here for more details.

I Still Don't Like Bugs
A little piece of advice: don't kneel in the grass without looking first. I have more than 50 bugbites on my legs from doing so. No, I'm not exaggerating.
Oh, the itchiness.
Oh, to just give in and SCRATCH!
Oh, lead me to the Benadryl!

I Don't Like Bugs.
Well, it has been awhile. I've been busy!
I've been teaching/tutoring my cousin's son Joshua two days a week. He is three and already knows all of the letters of the alphabet and some of his numbers. We've been working on what the letters say and some counting. He is quite the mimic, often quoting lines from Thomas the Tank and repeating big words that he hears adults say. Tuesday, when we were assembling our "number snake" he said, "Simply splendid!" It's not very funny in writing, but when you hear a little three year old pipe up with those words in a cute sing-songy voice, it's hilarious!
I've also been busy painting our living room in preparation for the arrival of Someone. There's nothing like the knowledge of company to kick me into gear when I have projects to do! I will post some before and after pictures soon. Brace yourselves.
If our neighbors happened to look toward our house this morning, they would have seen a crazy lady brandishing a floor lamp (the kind with the shade pointing to the ceiling) and waving it outside furiously. The reason for this insanity is that when I walked into the living room this morning to survey the paint progress and evaluate what still needs to be done, I saw a HUUUGE cockroach on the CEILING!!! Nate's at work, so I called Brad and told him in as pitiful a voice as I could muster of my plight and he LAUGHED. He said that maybe if he had time he would stop by and help. Thanks for nothing, pal. So, I hung up and told Grandpa about the creature and we stood there contemplating the best way to get it down when I thought of the lamp. After a brief struggle, I caught the hideous thing and yelled to Grandpa to open the front door and, as the neighbors probably saw, furiously shook the lamp outside until the bug plopped out into the ivy. Eww. I still shudder thinking about it.
And here is a picture I took when we went to Savannah and Tybee Island for our anniversary.
